The single greatest example in the market with no equals or superiors within the PSA pop report. Offered here is a jaw-dropping 1916 M101-5 Sporting News Blank Back Jim Thorpe which is held firmly within a PSA 8.5 holder. The overall quality and preservation of this offering is completely foreign to those familiar with trading cards from the era. Boasting virtually 'brand new' characteristics with sharp corners and registration, clean surfaces and the good fortune of a perfect factory cut. A beautiful M101-5 Sporting News design with a sepia image with the player's name, team, position and card number present at the lower border. Jim Thorpe is without question one of the greatest athletes of the 21st century and while Thorpe's baseball achievements pale in comparison to those of his days as an Olympian and a Football great, it's still very cool to see him featured in the M101-5 set along with a rookie Babe Ruth. Along with his three World Championships with the Canton Bulldogs, Thorpe also became the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States. All told, here is a piece of history as much a part of our American past as it is a quintessential piece of baseball collector lore. This card represents an exciting investment opportunity for anyone in the high-end collectibles market. We are proud to offer it free of any reserve or restriction. Don't miss it! One of over 25,000 cards, lots and sets up for bid in our 10th Auction of 2020. Click on the link above to view the other PWCC auction lots.
